Welcome to the MadWeather Blog! We have two basic rules for this blog: (1) Debate and discussion should be civil. (2) Because public discussion, regardless of the topic,is not very effective if we don't know who is talking to whom, MadWeather does not accept anonymous posts.

Native from the central valleys to the northern
mountains of Mexico and
the southernmost parts of Arizona and New Mexico. Gould's wild turkeys are
heavily protected and regulated. The subspecies was first
described in 1856. They exist in small numbers in the U.S. but are
abundant in northwestern portions of Mexico. A small population
has been established in southern Arizona. Gould's are the largest
of the five subspecies. They have longer legs, larger feet, and
longer tail feathers. The main colors of the body feathers are
copper and greenish-gold. This subspecies is heavily protected
owing to its skittish nature and threatened status.
